Meet as usual at the Lakefront at 0930.
We will travel to Kydd's Bush beside Lake Hawea. From there we walk uphill on the Sawyer Burn track towards the Sawyer Burn hut. DOC states the walk to the hut is 5 hrs return but 2hrs return to the bushline. We will walk as far as we want to past the bushline where the views are described as superb before lunching and return.
The first part of the track is steep with zigs and zags but it's worth it. We will behave ourselves and keep an easy pace! This is a track and not a footpath so take sturdy footwear.
Coffee at Hawea afterwards.
Forecast: Anticipate bright warm sunshine once above the bushline so take sunscreen!
Walk leader: Paul Knox
